Protection reruns Abandonment the I.ocofoco aud W hig Doctrines Contrasted. Lncof icoiain, ever S'tire its origin, has contended that Government has no function to perforin in regard to the great intercuts of tho country Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures. It teaches tlut those callings in which all the industry, all the enterprise, and all (he wealth of the nation are invested, hive no rglit to demand the fostering care of legislation. It looks upon every appeal that labor makes to power an an impertini-nco deserving of reprimand, and which,, at best, enn only be treated with entire inJilfVreiice. Lolocoisin is organ i ted upon the principle that the governing power is a vat close corporation, whose only interest is vested in the otlict-s over which it has the , control, and whose only legitimate care is for thr per pel il i ty of those nftVes in the hands of the holders. It rerog lines no industry except that winch is "X tended in giving increase or stability to that authority. It holds tint its duty to labor is performed when it throwa no obstacles in the way, and lea tea it to its own protection. It looks with a jealous eye upon im I provement, and views with dubke every great and I Valuable invention, in the Tear that i. may be knock-; ing at the doors of the government for aid to dispense lis be n-tits among niviamd. It says : " Let the people lake care nf lliemselves, and the government will take care of itself" Auti-proteclion is its great and boa ted principle in effect the abandonment of every interest to which the country owes any thing of its wealth, id power, Us independence, and its respectability in the eyes of the world. And what haa Locofocoism presented the country as a eouipensation for its abandonment nf those great interests in which the entire wealth, enterprise, industry and prosperity of tin people are invested? What new and shorter or more splendid avenue to Im mm happiness, or national greatness, has it epent-d to mankind, to repay the people lor its neglect nf their ciue its forgetfulness ot their dejires Nothing; none! Its only care has been expanded upon the means of self protection ; its greatest boasted invention is a peculiar way to preserve the funds of the government from the depredations of knaves aud thieves. It la keg no thought of the manner in which wealth is accumulated, nor cares lor the toiling mil lions through whose means our Country has become great and powerful ; it gloats over its strong boxes, and congratulates itself, that whatever else may happen, the coin that pays its salaries is safe, This is its jtalrwittm ! Niyi l'cof lco'ism does sometimes rnuse itself to consider induntrul movements. If tome enterprise is broached which is ton great for the means of any sin gle individual, and m order to carry it forward, men are found willing to combine and join their fortunes for its furtherance, Locofocoism instantly takes the alarm. Il discovers tlut the public liberty is in danger finiii the designs of ttssorintrd trtatth, and straightway Its voice ii heard denouncing the pi an and its actors, predicting all sorts of disaster as the result, and ma iling the most strenuous exerlions to give truth to its evil-eyed prophecy. Tins is its fuittrtng cart! Kual aud efficient protection lo every industrial in tereit to which the hand of man may be turned, has been the Whig doctrine, ever since the foundation of I tie Government a doctrine li,ti never was and never can be obtoltu. The need of it was the great demand that gave birth to the revolution. To subserve an existing necessity for such protection was one strong reason for the formation of our present confederacy. Protection of the producing power ever was and ever will be a duty of all government. The ilritish rule over the American colonies was a Locufuco administration. It look care nf itself. Il had a strong box, in which to lock up the money intended fir Hi salaries of the masters of the people. It looked up n England as the only country in which a respectable mauiilarture could be carried on, and insisted that the colonies could not fill to lie prosperous, an long ta tliey had a xewty nfehrmp ginAt. It said to the people, Uu prosperous and uke care of yourselves: when we want you wo will call upon you Send your raw materials and your money over to Kng- lanu, aim we will manufacture at your expense." It claimed a right divine to all otlice aud power, aud nioaea upon r.sell as both injured and defrauded when cast out of the places which it had abused. Locofocoisui in America is an attempt to revive and perpetuate this Urihaii rule. Il has the same loftiness of demand the aaino claim of superior tight the same presuming ascendency above (he people, and (he same aoiiadumnriir of the public interest. &VT Col..

Wuoiibtock, Vt., June ti.", ld4D. Dr. ah Sin : The " Green Mountain State " never more appropriately received its name than now, when mountain, hill-lop and valley, are clothed in a garment of the richest verdure, future is every where fresh and beautiful ; and the eye of the traveler, as he passes Iroin one side of the Stale to the other, is greeted with an infinite variety of scenery, unsurpansed in loveliness or grandeur. It is indeed a matter of won. der to see the extent to which a country so rough and broken, has been reduced to cultivation. In many cases tho ploughshare has run along the sides of the mountains lo Iheir very tops, and uiosl of the grains which are raised by the farmers of Ohio, are here cultivated wilh success. Il is as a grazing country, however, that Vermont particularly excels. In former years her hills have been covered with flocks of sheep of the finest breeds ; hut the low price of wool which has for some time prevailed, has gradually turned the attention of her farmers to other sources of profit and her horses and cuttle at this lime rank among tho first in the markets of New Votk und iloslon. Tho " Morgan" breed of horses has its origin in this State, aud it unrivaled in any nf ihe qualities which go to make up a beautiful and serviceable animal. In former years, when tho " internal improvement" ipirit raged like an epidemic through the country, the lieophi of Vermont, entrenched among their mountains, ercaped the contagion; and as a consequence, they have no public debt hanging like an incubus upon their shoulders, to be paid by their posterity. The desire to go by steam, however, was not to be resisted, even among the Green Mountains ; and there are now two tines of railroad partly completed traversing the State, one on each side of the mountains. The u centre road crosses I lie Connecticut nvcrnear Windsor, and runs up through Montp- lier, and down tlue gorge formed by the VVinoski river, until it passes the mountains, thence it si re (dies off towards Canada, aud terminates on Lake Chauiplain, opposite House's Point. It is now completed as far as Montpelier, and two trains h ave tlut place daily for lloston. The Rutland, Midditbury and Iturhngtiiu road crosses the Connecticut at lli-Hows Kalis, and passing through a gap in the mountains, traverses the valley of Otter creek to Vergennes; thence at no greet distance from Lake Chauiplain to Burlington. Daily trains are now run. uing upon il fiom Chester, and with the exception of a few miles among ihe mountains, the entire line will be completed in the fall. The expenditure of labor and money necessary to construct these roads, is much greater than is required for the same purpose in Ohio. Heavy T rail is used upon both roads, and they are in every respect constructed in a permanent aud substan tial manner. The success with which difficulties ap parently insurmountable, have been overcome, would lead to ihe belief thai there is no region which, with proper inducements, may not bo penetrated by Ihe clanging engine and rattling car. You have doubtless made your readers acquainted with the coalition which tus recently taken place be ! tween the Van Uuren Free Soil party and the Case I men of litis State They came together very loving-1 ly, and swore eternall friendship, " I'll Im yours if you'll be mine, Fol do riddle lot, lot do riddle lido." Out the terms ujmn winch Ihey meet, do not seem to warrant a very harmonious union. The Free Soil- I ers l.ere, as elsewhere, evince an appetite decidedly omnivorous, and insist upon furnishing from Iheir im maculate rsnks, Ihe candidates fur all the principal offices. The Loco locos, however, have been whipped so often, that they are very meek, and may submit to anything, like the old maid who prayed lor a hunbsnd. Their leaders have never had a taste nf the pleasures of serving the people " since the time " whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary ;" aud it cannot therefore be supposed that use has bred them to Ihe habit of expecting such favors. W hatever may be the result of such alliance, whether il be a chemical union, or a mixture which will require a good deal of stirring to keep the component parts In i m sepaiatuig, it seems at present to afford not a little satisfaction to (ho ' Free Democracy" in general. Their peans, however, create no great alarm, aud intelligent men still continue confident, that Vermont will rfrnun as heretofore, due to the Whig faith The place from which 1 now write, is one of the most pleasant villsgei in the State, Itissitualed up on the tucechy river, a beautiful mountain stream, whose transparent waters have m times past been fa. imms for their delicious trout, and elill continue to invite the fisherman, though with b ss promise of reward than formerly. It contains about fifteen hundred inhabitant, and its society is distinguished for its intelligence and refinement. The Postmaster General resided here at Ihe time of Ins appointment, anil is in. variably mentioned with esteem and respect. The town is also further distinguished as being the birth place of tho (Ion. Gen. P. Marsh, lately appointed Minister to Constantinople; and uf Hiram Powere lh greatest of living artits. The latter, I am told, lived here until he was fifteen or sixteen years old, when his father removed to the vicinity of Cincinnati, taking his son with him, Tho house where ho wax born is still standing, aud is in possession of an uncle of ihe sauu) name. I should also perhaps mention, for Ihe information of the curious, that Ihe Hon. Sal mon P.

Choluru in the City. vVilh the exception of Dr. Gaud, (whose death was announced yesterday,) wo hearof no deaths by cholera, in the city, since that time. Dr. Lath nop, the physician of the Penitentiary, who was seized nighl before lust, is in great danger. We hear of no oilier cases of a formidable character The Penitentiary. The pestilence still rages among Ihe convicts in the Slate Prison, though with not quite so much fatality as fair a few days preceding. This apparent abate inent is perhaps owing to the fact that there is leas food for it to prey upon. All discipline in the prison is necessarily suspended aud tho appeals of the poor fellows to be released from thai houatof death are almost enough to move the very stones. All attempt al labor in the prison has been suspended for several days. The chapel and all the shops, except the black smith shops, tiavo been converted into hospitals. Two hundred has not been a high average upon the sick list for the last four days. Tho Warden and Directors have united in recom- r ned in g a a pretty free exercise of Executive clemen cy. The Director have been in constant altendanco upon the suffering during tho season ot trial, and their services and sacrifices cannot be loo highly commended Two of tho Directors, (Messrs. Ridgway and Martin.) reside in this city and have devoted their undivided attention to tho wants of Iho sick and dy mg, ever since the pestilence commenced. Mr. llrown promptly came to the arena of duty, from Dalon, when he heard of the condition of a Hairs at the prison. The physicians of the oity have acquitted them, selves nobly on this occasion foregoing rest, and staying at no danger. One has already fallen in the noble effort. Another is lying in imminent peril both from disease contracted in iheir unwearied ellorts to extend relief to suffering Immunity, The Warden has done what any one man cou.t! accomplish, as well to avert as to stay the plague. He h;is shrunk from no danger. Not more than Ihree or fur conyicts were put in cells last night. There are not well men enough among them to take uecessa'y care of the sick. A meeting of (he citizens is called for to-night, to devise measures fur the relief of the prisoners, and to second the efforts of the Warden and Directors to rescue Ihoie who remain from the jaws of the pesti. leuce.

Hrpot' ted the KlrA as "tltlliim " I The President of the Hoard of Public Works. 1 he readers of Ihe Journal, and the people of the Stale in general, are pretty well aware of the state of circumstances under which was brought about the election of E. 8. Hamlin, to the office of President of the Roard of Public Works. That eleclion was the Inst, or nearly the last of a series of acts, the result of a dishonest coalition between Iho Townshend and Morse faction and tho Locofocos nf Iho last Ohio Legislature, by which the Senator, Judges, and other offices and jobs were parceled and divided among the members of these two branch s of "Democracy" for their especial benefit. Of all the elections that took place last winter, that of Hamlin was probably tho most distasteful to the Whigs in the Legislature and throughout the Stale. It was, wo are assured, also, the most dillicult item in ihe programme of the coalition lo carry out. There were those of the Locofocos who looked upon the man with a loathing io intense, that nothing but the tortures of the party lash could have forced them so to compromise iheir self respect as lo give him their vote. To Ihe editor of the Statesman, however, he became about the time when the election took place, an especial object of love and admiration. Ho was destined lo do great things to pry into the accounts of the Hoard and its subordinates to develope and reveal the mysteries of Whig roguery in short, ho was lo introduce that niilleniuiu of perfect Locofoco honesty faintly shadowed forth in the dispensation of Dates, Yonlz and Spencer, aud whose prophetic canticles were counted by Iho Statesman under their administration.Mr. Hamlin was elected amid the exultation of the Statesman and the groans of Whiggery. In due time he appeared, filed his bond, and look the oath of oflice I faithfully to discharge his dutirs. He then disappear ed, and from that day to this, neither friend or foe, so far as we can learn, has heard uf or from him, or knows of his whereabouts Letters den pitched in nil direc tions have received no renpome. The most urgent official business, requiring his attention and sign man ual, is suffering by Ins absence. I'uyiuenls cannot he ruude salaries cannot be drawn, and many of the or dinary duties of the Hoard of Public Works cannot bo discharged. The public service is suffering lo a con. alterable extent, and individual interests, perhaps, to an equal amount These are facts we leave it for the public to add the commentary. tLJ France if now more popul.ii with whiggery. and less so with democrats, than at the time the throne of the perjured king was publicly burned in the streets Ohio .Statesman- From this, we are lo infer that just now, France is not populur with the Locofocos of the L'mted Stales, including the Editor nf the Statesman. Good. ;low long is il since the choicest dirly names of Ihe Statesman's vocabulary were lavished upon us because wo refused to sympathise with the Kdilor in his unbound ed admiration for the character ol the silly prince, who with a regal title and an imperial name, plays the foul as president of that Republic? Our auspicimi that he would he precisely what he is, wa then looked upon by the Statesman as proof of a very strong want of runfide nee in the people! And now, alas! the people have ceased to be popular wilh the Locofocos, If we had taken it for granted thai (he burning of tho chair upon which the late King of France was accustomed lo til, on stale occasions, was a guaranty for the perpetuation of republican liberty in France, we might have rejoiced over lhat piece of combustion with antics as ridiculous as those of our neighbor. We saw nothing in it hut the burning of a chair ; and failed to see any thing in Ihe dethronement of ihe lale king, but Ihe loss of power by single family. We reserved our applause for Ihe appearance of consistent and subMtanliul republican results, and have thus been saved Ihe trouble of unsaying our glorifications. Dedication. The grounds of (irren Lawn Cemtttry were sol. emuty dedicated to the sncrrd uses of sepulture, with religiua solemnities, on yesterday, in presence of large audience of ladies and gentlemen. The Divine blessing was invoked by Ihe Rev. Mr. Hitchcock ; Dedication Address by Rev. Dr. hoge; concluding Prayer by the Rrv. Mr. Brooks; and the Uenedicliuii pronounced by the Rev. Mr. Doolittle ; which services were interspersed wilh sacred music, applied to two oiiginal Hymns and an Ode, prepared for tho occasion by a gentleman of this city. Ptie services were appropriate and impressive ; the occasion one winch calls oul Ihe beat emotions of our nature ; and the time and surrounding circumstances surh as could hardly fail to give to that occasion ad. dilioiial and immediate interest. The discourse of Ihe venerable Doct. Hour was one of the most admirable which we have ever hoard, and waa listened to with deep attention. A friend who was upon the ground, has promised us for pulilicaiiou a somewhat extended notice of Ihe grounds, their adaptation to the uses for which they have been given, together with some notes of Iho ser vers al the Dedication. We await the fulfilment of that promise. Dr Ganu, who died of cholera last evening, was buried in Green Lawn lo-day being the sttond interment in Ihe grounds. Ohio Cunnl. We are requested by the Superintendent ef the Southern Division of the Ohio Canal to say, thai Ihu water will be lei off the Cirrleritt Aaneduct, for the purpose of repairs, on the 23d iust, and will remain off until the 21th of August. This will involve suspension of through nariga- (ton during that time, or involve the necessity of a portage nf a mile and a halt, to the level below. (T 'lev. James T.

Shout Sermons In tins sultry weather, one great requisite in a good sermon is, lhat it be brief.

Dr. Lathrop, whose illness we noticed yesterday, is still in a dangerous condition. We hear of no deaths or cases likely to terminate filially. Cholera in the Penitentiary. The appearance of things at the Statu Prison during tho last twenty-four hours, exhibits a decided im provement. Only one new patient was received into the hospital last night, and his cane is said to bo man ageable. Several have been discharged, out of danger. Since the prevalence of iho epidemic, there have been eighty-one deaths nf cholera, and two of other diseases. Of Ihose who have died, forty suffered in conso-quenco of relapses brought on by their own imptu-dence. Out of about lour hundred and fifty convicts, but between seventy and eighty have escaped an attack. One poor fellow, who was released by pardon yesterday, and placed in the hands of persons who promised to take care uf him, was found by tho Directors this morning, in a deserted building, laboring under a severe attack, and relurned to the prison, where ho will probably die. The number of cases now, in the hospital, likely to terminato fatally, is small, and there is reason to hope that the worst is over. While our unfortunate prison has been the witness of scenes terrible beyond description, there ii reason to thank God that it is no worse. We are again indebted to Mi. Martin for a list of the deullis. John Merrick, from Warren co., received Nov. 27, 1810, for 5 years ; died July 12, aged 32.

He had passed a part nf the fust night on tho porch uf a tavern in the village. Some good assurance should certainly be given by parties who procure these pardons, thai they will not abandon Ihe pardoned convict lo so dreadful a fate. Wo shall doubtless hear of more instances uf the kind. Firo. There wns an alarm of fire last night, and the firemen and engines wero called oul to extinguish the conflagration of a smoke-house, somewhere near the Penitentiary. The loss was probably nut very great, and, as we understand, no other building was in any greal danger. The smoke-house was destroyed. Fouiituiii Paper Mill. We pasxed an hour some days ago, in examining the paper mill, which has just been put into operation this city, by .Mr. A H Newburgh. I he mill is sit. uated at the east end of the Scioto bridge, on Broad street. It is a large three story brick edifice, and is lilted up in the moat complete and substantial manner. We shall not attempt to describe the process of pa per making. It is rather wonderful to see filthy look- ig rags transformed in a lew hours into clear white paper, ready for use ; but each individual ought losee it for himself Tho actual quantity of paper turned uut by this null for several weeks past, has been 150 reams double medium printing paper per week, requiring a supply of 1000 lbs of rags per diem. The water is obtained from springs in the hill, and the machinery is all driven by sleam. Mr. Newburgh can supply ail orders from printers and others, on as good terms as Ihey can be filled else where. We call the attention of those interested lo his esubl ishmcnt. The Fir-,t Presbyterian Church. We are glad tu understand that the intelligent and wealthy congregation, worshipping in Ihe First Pres byterian (Dr. Hoge's) Church, have il in contemplation to entirely modernize the interior of that edifice. Some of thd improvements talked of are, changing the positions of the pulpit and organ, so that on entering you will face the pulpit, removing the present cumbrous pulpit altogether, and cutting down or re moving Ihe side galleries. These changes h ivo long been very desirable, and are remarked as needed by every stranger who visits the church. We think the congregation will greatly advance the interests of the church by carrying them into effect. M. Lou i a.

Forrer, Esq , while riding in a buggy, met with an accident winch bad nearly proved latal lo both As it was, the latter waa severely, (hough not danger-uusly injured. In turning off from Mam street into a road through Nipkin's atone yard on Main street near the canal bridge, the horse took fright, as it supposed, al an umbrella held by H. Forhkr, and bounded rtgiit among the targe stones in the yard. C. Forrer, who was driving, waa thrown out uf the buggy, and received hut little injury. His brother in endeavurinrr to catch the lines, fell over the side of the buggy, so as to bring his head within a short distance of the gmund, while his feel were held under the seat. W hile Mr r. waa thus suspended, the horse wasstrmr ghng furiously among the stones that impeded his pro-grea. Fortunately the traces broke before he had mane Dut a lew bouuds,and the horse being thus clear of the vehicle, Mr. Forrer, as bv a miracle, was saved. As it was, however, he was badly cut in the head and neck, and bruised in Ihe side and other parts of bit body. The wounds were dressed by Dr. Steele, and the use of the lancet was required to relieve a serious dithculty in breathing under which Mr. F. waslaboring. At dusk last night, Mr. i orrer was quite comforts- able, and we hope his recovery may be sure and speedy. Aside from the fact that his services are at all limes moat valuable, as well lo the slate ts to the community in which he lives, the lost, at this juncture, of his most etficienl and continued labors in taking care of Ihe aick, is much to be regretted. He had but just recovered from an attack of cholera in its primary stage, and was again ready fur service. Day t n Journal. Conviction Jamea M.

Protection reruns Abandonment the I.ocofoco aud W hig Doctrines Contrasted. Lncof icoiain, ever S'tire its origin, has contended that Government has no function to perforin in regard to the great intercuts of tho country Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures. It teaches tlut those callings in which all the industry, all the enterprise, and all (he wealth of the nation are invested, hive no rglit to demand the fostering care of legislation. It looks upon every appeal that labor makes to power an an impertini-nco deserving of reprimand, and which,, at best, enn only be treated with entire inJilfVreiice. Lolocoisin is organ i ted upon the principle that the governing power is a vat close corporation, whose only interest is vested in the otlict-s over which it has the , control, and whose only legitimate care is for thr per pel il i ty of those nftVes in the hands of the holders. It rerog lines no industry except that winch is "X tended in giving increase or stability to that authority. It holds tint its duty to labor is performed when it throwa no obstacles in the way, and lea tea it to its own protection. It looks with a jealous eye upon im I provement, and views with dubke every great and I Valuable invention, in the Tear that i. may be knock-; ing at the doors of the government for aid to dispense lis be n-tits among niviamd. It says : " Let the people lake care nf lliemselves, and the government will take care of itself" Auti-proteclion is its great and boa ted principle in effect the abandonment of every interest to which the country owes any thing of its wealth, id power, Us independence, and its respectability in the eyes of the world. And what haa Locofocoism presented the country as a eouipensation for its abandonment nf those great interests in which the entire wealth, enterprise, industry and prosperity of tin people are invested? What new and shorter or more splendid avenue to Im mm happiness, or national greatness, has it epent-d to mankind, to repay the people lor its neglect nf their ciue its forgetfulness ot their dejires Nothing; none! Its only care has been expanded upon the means of self protection ; its greatest boasted invention is a peculiar way to preserve the funds of the government from the depredations of knaves aud thieves. It la keg no thought of the manner in which wealth is accumulated, nor cares lor the toiling mil lions through whose means our Country has become great and powerful ; it gloats over its strong boxes, and congratulates itself, that whatever else may happen, the coin that pays its salaries is safe, This is its jtalrwittm ! Niyi l'cof lco'ism does sometimes rnuse itself to consider induntrul movements. If tome enterprise is broached which is ton great for the means of any sin gle individual, and m order to carry it forward, men are found willing to combine and join their fortunes for its furtherance, Locofocoism instantly takes the alarm. Il discovers tlut the public liberty is in danger finiii the designs of ttssorintrd trtatth, and straightway Its voice ii heard denouncing the pi an and its actors, predicting all sorts of disaster as the result, and ma iling the most strenuous exerlions to give truth to its evil-eyed prophecy. Tins is its fuittrtng cart! Kual aud efficient protection lo every industrial in tereit to which the hand of man may be turned, has been the Whig doctrine, ever since the foundation of I tie Government a doctrine li,ti never was and never can be obtoltu. The need of it was the great demand that gave birth to the revolution. To subserve an existing necessity for such protection was one strong reason for the formation of our present confederacy. Protection of the producing power ever was and ever will be a duty of all government. The ilritish rule over the American colonies was a Locufuco administration. It look care nf itself. Il had a strong box, in which to lock up the money intended fir Hi salaries of the masters of the people. It looked up n England as the only country in which a respectable mauiilarture could be carried on, and insisted that the colonies could not fill to lie prosperous, an long ta tliey had a xewty nfehrmp ginAt. It said to the people, Uu prosperous and uke care of yourselves: when we want you wo will call upon you Send your raw materials and your money over to Kng- lanu, aim we will manufacture at your expense." It claimed a right divine to all otlice aud power, aud nioaea upon r.sell as both injured and defrauded when cast out of the places which it had abused. Locofocoisui in America is an attempt to revive and perpetuate this Urihaii rule. Il has the same loftiness of demand the aaino claim of superior tight the same presuming ascendency above (he people, and (he same aoiiadumnriir of the public interest. &VT Col..

Wuoiibtock, Vt., June ti.", ld4D. Dr. ah Sin : The " Green Mountain State " never more appropriately received its name than now, when mountain, hill-lop and valley, are clothed in a garment of the richest verdure, future is every where fresh and beautiful ; and the eye of the traveler, as he passes Iroin one side of the Stale to the other, is greeted with an infinite variety of scenery, unsurpansed in loveliness or grandeur. It is indeed a matter of won. der to see the extent to which a country so rough and broken, has been reduced to cultivation. In many cases tho ploughshare has run along the sides of the mountains lo Iheir very tops, and uiosl of the grains which are raised by the farmers of Ohio, are here cultivated wilh success. Il is as a grazing country, however, that Vermont particularly excels. In former years her hills have been covered with flocks of sheep of the finest breeds ; hut the low price of wool which has for some time prevailed, has gradually turned the attention of her farmers to other sources of profit and her horses and cuttle at this lime rank among tho first in the markets of New Votk und iloslon. Tho " Morgan" breed of horses has its origin in this State, aud it unrivaled in any nf ihe qualities which go to make up a beautiful and serviceable animal. In former years, when tho " internal improvement" ipirit raged like an epidemic through the country, the lieophi of Vermont, entrenched among their mountains, ercaped the contagion; and as a consequence, they have no public debt hanging like an incubus upon their shoulders, to be paid by their posterity. The desire to go by steam, however, was not to be resisted, even among the Green Mountains ; and there are now two tines of railroad partly completed traversing the State, one on each side of the mountains. The u centre road crosses I lie Connecticut nvcrnear Windsor, and runs up through Montp- lier, and down tlue gorge formed by the VVinoski river, until it passes the mountains, thence it si re (dies off towards Canada, aud terminates on Lake Chauiplain, opposite House's Point. It is now completed as far as Montpelier, and two trains h ave tlut place daily for lloston. The Rutland, Midditbury and Iturhngtiiu road crosses the Connecticut at lli-Hows Kalis, and passing through a gap in the mountains, traverses the valley of Otter creek to Vergennes; thence at no greet distance from Lake Chauiplain to Burlington. Daily trains are now run. uing upon il fiom Chester, and with the exception of a few miles among ihe mountains, the entire line will be completed in the fall. The expenditure of labor and money necessary to construct these roads, is much greater than is required for the same purpose in Ohio. Heavy T rail is used upon both roads, and they are in every respect constructed in a permanent aud substan tial manner. The success with which difficulties ap parently insurmountable, have been overcome, would lead to ihe belief thai there is no region which, with proper inducements, may not bo penetrated by Ihe clanging engine and rattling car. You have doubtless made your readers acquainted with the coalition which tus recently taken place be ! tween the Van Uuren Free Soil party and the Case I men of litis State They came together very loving-1 ly, and swore eternall friendship, " I'll Im yours if you'll be mine, Fol do riddle lot, lot do riddle lido." Out the terms ujmn winch Ihey meet, do not seem to warrant a very harmonious union. The Free Soil- I ers l.ere, as elsewhere, evince an appetite decidedly omnivorous, and insist upon furnishing from Iheir im maculate rsnks, Ihe candidates fur all the principal offices. The Loco locos, however, have been whipped so often, that they are very meek, and may submit to anything, like the old maid who prayed lor a hunbsnd. Their leaders have never had a taste nf the pleasures of serving the people " since the time " whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary ;" aud it cannot therefore be supposed that use has bred them to Ihe habit of expecting such favors. W hatever may be the result of such alliance, whether il be a chemical union, or a mixture which will require a good deal of stirring to keep the component parts In i m sepaiatuig, it seems at present to afford not a little satisfaction to (ho ' Free Democracy" in general. Their peans, however, create no great alarm, aud intelligent men still continue confident, that Vermont will rfrnun as heretofore, due to the Whig faith The place from which 1 now write, is one of the most pleasant villsgei in the State, Itissitualed up on the tucechy river, a beautiful mountain stream, whose transparent waters have m times past been fa. imms for their delicious trout, and elill continue to invite the fisherman, though with b ss promise of reward than formerly.

The town is also further distinguished as being the birth place of tho (Ion. Gen. P. Marsh, lately appointed Minister to Constantinople; and uf Hiram Powere lh greatest of living artits. The latter, I am told, lived here until he was fifteen or sixteen years old, when his father removed to the vicinity of Cincinnati, taking his son with him, Tho house where ho wax born is still standing, aud is in possession of an uncle of ihe sauu) name.

Dr. Lath nop, the physician of the Penitentiary, who was seized nighl before lust, is in great danger. We hear of no oilier cases of a formidable character The Penitentiary. The pestilence still rages among Ihe convicts in the Slate Prison, though with not quite so much fatality as fair a few days preceding. This apparent abate inent is perhaps owing to the fact that there is leas food for it to prey upon. All discipline in the prison is necessarily suspended aud tho appeals of the poor fellows to be released from thai houatof death are almost enough to move the very stones. All attempt al labor in the prison has been suspended for several days. The chapel and all the shops, except the black smith shops, tiavo been converted into hospitals. Two hundred has not been a high average upon the sick list for the last four days. Tho Warden and Directors have united in recom- r ned in g a a pretty free exercise of Executive clemen cy.

Mr. llrown promptly came to the arena of duty, from Dalon, when he heard of the condition of a Hairs at the prison. The physicians of the oity have acquitted them, selves nobly on this occasion foregoing rest, and staying at no danger. One has already fallen in the noble effort. Another is lying in imminent peril both from disease contracted in iheir unwearied ellorts to extend relief to suffering Immunity, The Warden has done what any one man cou.t! accomplish, as well to avert as to stay the plague.

Hrpot' ted the KlrA as "tltlliim " I The President of the Hoard of Public Works. 1 he readers of Ihe Journal, and the people of the Stale in general, are pretty well aware of the state of circumstances under which was brought about the election of E. 8. Hamlin, to the office of President of the Roard of Public Works. That eleclion was the Inst, or nearly the last of a series of acts, the result of a dishonest coalition between Iho Townshend and Morse faction and tho Locofocos nf Iho last Ohio Legislature, by which the Senator, Judges, and other offices and jobs were parceled and divided among the members of these two branch s of "Democracy" for their especial benefit. Of all the elections that took place last winter, that of Hamlin was probably tho most distasteful to the Whigs in the Legislature and throughout the Stale. It was, wo are assured, also, the most dillicult item in ihe programme of the coalition lo carry out. There were those of the Locofocos who looked upon the man with a loathing io intense, that nothing but the tortures of the party lash could have forced them so to compromise iheir self respect as lo give him their vote. To Ihe editor of the Statesman, however, he became about the time when the election took place, an especial object of love and admiration. Ho was destined lo do great things to pry into the accounts of the Hoard and its subordinates to develope and reveal the mysteries of Whig roguery in short, ho was lo introduce that niilleniuiu of perfect Locofoco honesty faintly shadowed forth in the dispensation of Dates, Yonlz and Spencer, aud whose prophetic canticles were counted by Iho Statesman under their administration.Mr. Hamlin was elected amid the exultation of the Statesman and the groans of Whiggery. In due time he appeared, filed his bond, and look the oath of oflice I faithfully to discharge his dutirs. He then disappear ed, and from that day to this, neither friend or foe, so far as we can learn, has heard uf or from him, or knows of his whereabouts Letters den pitched in nil direc tions have received no renpome. The most urgent official business, requiring his attention and sign man ual, is suffering by Ins absence. I'uyiuenls cannot he ruude salaries cannot be drawn, and many of the or dinary duties of the Hoard of Public Works cannot bo discharged. The public service is suffering lo a con. alterable extent, and individual interests, perhaps, to an equal amount These are facts we leave it for the public to add the commentary. tLJ France if now more popul.ii with whiggery. and less so with democrats, than at the time the throne of the perjured king was publicly burned in the streets Ohio .Statesman- From this, we are lo infer that just now, France is not populur with the Locofocos of the L'mted Stales, including the Editor nf the Statesman. Good. ;low long is il since the choicest dirly names of Ihe Statesman's vocabulary were lavished upon us because wo refused to sympathise with the Kdilor in his unbound ed admiration for the character ol the silly prince, who with a regal title and an imperial name, plays the foul as president of that Republic? Our auspicimi that he would he precisely what he is, wa then looked upon by the Statesman as proof of a very strong want of runfide nee in the people! And now, alas! the people have ceased to be popular wilh the Locofocos, If we had taken it for granted thai (he burning of tho chair upon which the late King of France was accustomed lo til, on stale occasions, was a guaranty for the perpetuation of republican liberty in France, we might have rejoiced over lhat piece of combustion with antics as ridiculous as those of our neighbor. We saw nothing in it hut the burning of a chair ; and failed to see any thing in Ihe dethronement of ihe lale king, but Ihe loss of power by single family. We reserved our applause for Ihe appearance of consistent and subMtanliul republican results, and have thus been saved Ihe trouble of unsaying our glorifications. Dedication. The grounds of (irren Lawn Cemtttry were sol. emuty dedicated to the sncrrd uses of sepulture, with religiua solemnities, on yesterday, in presence of large audience of ladies and gentlemen. The Divine blessing was invoked by Ihe Rev. Mr. Hitchcock ; Dedication Address by Rev. Dr. hoge; concluding Prayer by the Rrv. Mr. Brooks; and the Uenedicliuii pronounced by the Rev. Mr. Doolittle ; which services were interspersed wilh sacred music, applied to two oiiginal Hymns and an Ode, prepared for tho occasion by a gentleman of this city. Ptie services were appropriate and impressive ; the occasion one winch calls oul Ihe beat emotions of our nature ; and the time and surrounding circumstances surh as could hardly fail to give to that occasion ad. dilioiial and immediate interest. The discourse of Ihe venerable Doct. Hour was one of the most admirable which we have ever hoard, and waa listened to with deep attention. A friend who was upon the ground, has promised us for pulilicaiiou a somewhat extended notice of Ihe grounds, their adaptation to the uses for which they have been given, together with some notes of Iho ser vers al the Dedication. We await the fulfilment of that promise. Dr Ganu, who died of cholera last evening, was buried in Green Lawn lo-day being the sttond interment in Ihe grounds. Ohio Cunnl.

Since the prevalence of iho epidemic, there have been eighty-one deaths nf cholera, and two of other diseases. Of Ihose who have died, forty suffered in conso-quenco of relapses brought on by their own imptu-dence. Out of about lour hundred and fifty convicts, but between seventy and eighty have escaped an attack. One poor fellow, who was released by pardon yesterday, and placed in the hands of persons who promised to take care uf him, was found by tho Directors this morning, in a deserted building, laboring under a severe attack, and relurned to the prison, where ho will probably die. The number of cases now, in the hospital, likely to terminato fatally, is small, and there is reason to hope that the worst is over. While our unfortunate prison has been the witness of scenes terrible beyond description, there ii reason to thank God that it is no worse. We are again indebted to Mi.

We pasxed an hour some days ago, in examining the paper mill, which has just been put into operation this city, by .Mr. A H Newburgh. I he mill is sit. uated at the east end of the Scioto bridge, on Broad street. It is a large three story brick edifice, and is lilted up in the moat complete and substantial manner. We shall not attempt to describe the process of pa per making. It is rather wonderful to see filthy look- ig rags transformed in a lew hours into clear white paper, ready for use ; but each individual ought losee it for himself Tho actual quantity of paper turned uut by this null for several weeks past, has been 150 reams double medium printing paper per week, requiring a supply of 1000 lbs of rags per diem. The water is obtained from springs in the hill, and the machinery is all driven by sleam. Mr. Newburgh can supply ail orders from printers and others, on as good terms as Ihey can be filled else where. We call the attention of those interested lo his esubl ishmcnt. The Fir-,t Presbyterian Church. We are glad tu understand that the intelligent and wealthy congregation, worshipping in Ihe First Pres byterian (Dr. Hoge's) Church, have il in contemplation to entirely modernize the interior of that edifice. Some of thd improvements talked of are, changing the positions of the pulpit and organ, so that on entering you will face the pulpit, removing the present cumbrous pulpit altogether, and cutting down or re moving Ihe side galleries. These changes h ivo long been very desirable, and are remarked as needed by every stranger who visits the church. We think the congregation will greatly advance the interests of the church by carrying them into effect. M. Lou i a.

Forrer, Esq , while riding in a buggy, met with an accident winch bad nearly proved latal lo both As it was, the latter waa severely, (hough not danger-uusly injured. In turning off from Mam street into a road through Nipkin's atone yard on Main street near the canal bridge, the horse took fright, as it supposed, al an umbrella held by H. Forhkr, and bounded rtgiit among the targe stones in the yard. C. Forrer, who was driving, waa thrown out uf the buggy, and received hut little injury. His brother in endeavurinrr to catch the lines, fell over the side of the buggy, so as to bring his head within a short distance of the gmund, while his feel were held under the seat. W hile Mr r. waa thus suspended, the horse wasstrmr ghng furiously among the stones that impeded his pro-grea. Fortunately the traces broke before he had mane Dut a lew bouuds,and the horse being thus clear of the vehicle, Mr. Forrer, as bv a miracle, was saved. As it was, however, he was badly cut in the head and neck, and bruised in Ihe side and other parts of bit body. The wounds were dressed by Dr. Steele, and the use of the lancet was required to relieve a serious dithculty in breathing under which Mr. F. waslaboring. At dusk last night, Mr. i orrer was quite comforts- able, and we hope his recovery may be sure and speedy. Aside from the fact that his services are at all limes moat valuable, as well lo the slate ts to the community in which he lives, the lost, at this juncture, of his most etficienl and continued labors in taking care of Ihe aick, is much to be regretted.
